Features
Equipped with a silent SSD, the Digital Noise Isolation Architecture reduces noise and jitter to the lowest
possible levels. The Optimally Activated Circuit System sends high-quality music data to the player. For a USB-
DAC, the Low Noise USB Transfer reduces the processing load on the player side and ensures stable USB
output power to achieve extremely accurate data transfers.
Bit-Perfect Ripping not only readjusts read error characteristics and performs read retries, but also carries out
comparative verification using correct hash values. The internal CD drive is manufactured entirely in-house. It is
enclosed in a silent shelter and mounted at the centre of the casing. This Rigidly-Mounted Sheltered Drive
minimises the generation of vibrations and noise and enables accurate reading of CD data.
The ST-G30 features a user interface that allows a variety of operations, such as managing a music library from a
smartphone app, editing the tags and settings of various parameters, thus providing comfortable operation without
using a PC. It lets you immerse yourself fully in the music. The internal SSD is removable to allow for future upgrades.
